Dear readers,
I posted the following earlier on stackexchange <http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/288532/how-to-include-a-shortened-title-for-the-pdf-renaming-utiltiy-in-jabref>.

Jabref 2.10 includes a utility of "Clean up entries" for your bibtex references. Under the last option it is possible to automatically /rename/ your PDFs given a "/file name format pattern/". The pattern is editable in under Preferences --> Import --> Default PDF file link action.

I would like to program a new *'pattern'* that creates PDF names *combining the bibtexkey and only the first 3 words* of the title, e.g.:

   [bibtexkey]_[first-3-words-of-title]

Currently I use as a bibtexkey generation pattern (editable under Preferences --> Bibtexkey key generator):

   [auth.etal:lower:(zzz)][year].[journal:abbr:lower:(xxx)]

And as a file name pattern:

   \bibtexkey\begin{title}_\format[ToLowerCase,Replace(":,"),Replace("
   ,-"),RemoveBrackets,FormatChars]{\title}\end{title}

This option uses the full title rather than only the first 3 words of the bibtex entry to rename the PDF.

*For example* I have a bibtex entry:

   @Article{cisneros.etal2015.po,
   Title = {Naming and Shaming for Conservation: Evidence from the
   Brazilian Amazon},
   Author = {Cisneros, Elías AND Zhou, Sophie Lian AND Börner, Jan},
   Journal = {PLoS ONE},
   Year = {2015},
   Month = {09},
   Number = {9},
   Pages = {e0136402},
   Volume = {10},
   Doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0136402},
   File =
   
{:bib\cisneros.etal2015.po_naming-and-shaming-for-conservation-evidence-from-the-brazilian-amazon.pdf:PDF},
   Publisher = {Public Library of Science},
   Url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0136402}
   }

From which the Clean entry utility creates a PDF name:

   
cisneros.etal2015.po_naming-and-shaming-for-conservation-evidence-from-the-brazilian-amazon.pdf

instead I would prefer:

   cisneros.etal2015.po_naming-and-shaming.pdf


Many thanks,
Elías
